Comments:

League position: 7th With one game still to play, Wolverhampton Wanderers had now accrued 57 points so far in this Premier League season; the most by a newly-promoted team since Ipswich Town in 2000-01 (66). Wolves were now unbeaten in their last eight home games in the Premier League (won six). They named their 14th unchanged starting line-up so far in this Premier League season; a total only equalled by Burnley.

Comments:

League position: 19th At 16 years and 30 days, Harvey Elliott became the youngest-ever player to appear in the Premier League. The previous record was also held by Fulham; Matthew Briggs was aged 16 years and 68 days when he made his debut in the competition at Middlesbrough on 13 May 2007. The Whites failed in their attempt to win four consecutive games in the top division for the first time since April 1966. Fulham failed in their attempt to equal their club record of four consecutive clean sheets in the top division. Leander Dendoncker's goal was the first they had conceded since relegation to the League Championship had been confirmed.
